Answer:

The word 'scrutinized' suggests that the government was not just watching the movements of its citizens but was actively looking into the lives of its citizens apart from watching any sort of infraction.

The word 'watched' would have changed the ominous feelings of the sentence.

Explanation:

1984: A Novel is a dystopian novel written George Orwell. The novel is set in the future and centers on the aftermaths of the totalitarian. The society in the novel is ruled by the Party who has employed the Though Police, that persecutes independent thinking.

Orwell has used the word 'scrutinized' to emphasize that the government was not just watching the movements of its citizen but also actively looking into the lives of its citizens. Despite that the government was watching into the lives of its citizens, it was also watching into any sort of infraction.

If Orwell would have used the word 'watched,' it would have changed the ominous feelings of the passage.

artcher [175]

Answer and Explanation:

The quote shown above reflects on how people position themselves in the way their peers behave in relation to it. In a simpler form, the quote indicates that if a person feels devalued by his peers, he will tend to isolate himself and distance himself from them, as a way of self-protection and conservation of his well-being.

In the novel "My sister's keeper" we can relate this concept to both Kate and Anna Fitzgerald. That's because, Kate feels that her life is tiring for her family, especially for her sister; in that case, as a form of protection, she wishes to die. Anna, on the other hand, feels that her family uses her for interests that are not hers and therefore, as a form of protection, she wants to separate from the family.
